Purchased this for our large bedroom, as this is where watch most of our TV. I originally wanted the 50", but it would have been too big for our situation. We are about 9 - 10 ft. from the TV when watching it, and it seems to be the perfect distance.
I've had the TV for two weeks, and currently have it on basic analog cable and am thrilled with the picture quality. I'm expecting it to get even better when I upgrade to digital cable and HDTV in a couple of weeks. DVD's look awesome (Finding Nemo was absolutely incredible!), and the tv is super easy to use. I basically got it home, hooked it up to the cable and DVD player, let it run through it's automatic station set up, and haven't done a thing since. CC provides a DVD to help adjust all the settings, but I have not used it yet. I have not had to make an adjustment and it looks great. I did buy the 4-year extended warranty that covers the replacement of the light - the light costs $200, and CC will give you at least one, even of the old one does not burn out in the warranty period. So far, couldn't be happier.

I purchased the Terk Indoor HDTV Antenna (#TRK HDTVI) just for kicks to see if it could pick up any HD while I wait for another week for the cable company. I plugged it in, and ran the set up program on the tv for the antenna. Much to my shock, it picked up a bunch of stations in HD and looks fantastic. I live around 30 miles north of Chicago, and NBC, ABC, PBS, FOX, WGN all have fantastic over-ari HD reception. I am going to cancel the cable company visit and save the money!

I have all good things to say about my KDF-E42A10. I have been nothing but pleased with my purchase and HD Channels look like still images... just soooo crisp and clear... Thanx to my HD PVR box from Rogers (here in Canada), I can record my shows in HD and view at leisure...
One thing that I found somewhat bothersome with the TV was the way the HDMI input works. I have my HD PVR box hooked up with the TV directly using an HDMI cable. Also I have a digital coax cable connecting the digital audio out from the HD PVR to the A/V Receiver. Only problem though, even if the HD broadcast is in Dolby Digital 5.1, I get only 2 channel sound on the A/V Receiver. In order to get 5.1 Channel DD sound, I have to get into the Settings of my HD PVR Receiver, change the Audio to :Dolby Digital" from "HDMI" to get 5.1 channel DD sound. That's a few extra steps that I don't really want to take if I don't have to. If I leave the "Dolby Digital" selected in the settings, I get no sound from the TV at all. So when I'm done watching a show in 5.1 DD sound, I need to switch back to the "HDMI" audio mode so that the TV sound can funtion normally and everyone at home doesn't go nuts trying to get sound out of the TV. Anyone else experience this? Let me know. This behavior is however, not depicted if I use Component Video Cables... weird!
Everything else about the TV is great!
Peace!

This TV is neat, light-weighted and looks very nice with the matching stand. The quality of the picture is excellent. The picture is very clear and not over-exposed as in plasma TVs or in some other DLP TVs. The stereo audio produces very good sound.
If you decide to go for big screen TV, try 50" or 62". This 42" is a bit small for family room. In January '06, costco offered 50" + matching stand for $2400 + tax (of course) and I bought this 42" TV + shipping + matching stand for $2050. I wish I could have bought that 50" TV at costco.
Anyway, I'm very pleased with this TV.

I picked one at Best Buy yesterday after waiting 4 days for it to come in. I plugged the projection TV and press power button. I saw the initial setup on the screen momentarily, then a clicking sound and then it shut down. Then the red light blinks 4 times repeatedly. I tried again several times, unplugging the tv completely, doing the factory reset as mentioned in the manual but still the same. I will return this TV today and get a new one, it's too much of a hassle. I was dissapointed this happened to me after finally deciding to get this TV based on excellent reviews. I am now worried and doubtful if this TV will last for a long time after getting a DOA right out of the box. The TV was manufactured DEC. 2005 printed at the back.

The manual for this product is the same one you can find at amazon under kdfe50a10, the 50" model
